pics from my jump

Yeah, I'm not jumping out of a perfectly good airplane no matter what.

....and you look a tad too happy to be THAT close up against another man.

I still want to jump but keep spending my money on other shit.

I think you can bypass the tandem jumps by going though an extended ground course if you are wanting to get certified.

Sounds like a bunch of homophobes up in here. Trust me, when you're doing it for the first time, its alot easier to get over the initial "OHMYFUCKINGGODIMGONNADIEIMSOSTUPIDISHOULDHAVENEVE RDONETHIS...etc" if you're strapped to somebody else whose job it is to make sure your scared ass gets back to terra firma safely. I've seen way too many AFF students who didnt do a tandem first for the exact reason you fags mentioned end up fucking up and almost dying. But its not like any of you pussies will ever actually jump anyway so it doesnt really matter.

Hawaii is a great place to jump, scary as fuck when its windy and your jump point is out over the ocean. Congrats on the jump and good luck with your future jumps.

Shit happens. My luck I'd be another "unheard of" statistic. Fuck that.
